Summary. An archaeological evaluation (five trial-trenches) was carried out at the former Manor Nursery, Thaxted Road, Wimbish, Essex, in advance of the construction of four new dwellings. The site lies on the road from Saffron Walden to the Debden barracks, south-west of the village of Wimbish. Excavations revealed three pits, two of which yielded prehistoric finds.
